I don't like taking vacations, personally. But Florida's economy is largely based on snowbirds taking vacations. I like others taking vacations. We welcome Europeans taking vacations here.
I used to sell timeshare in Orlando. We were told (and I now wonder if any of this was true) that in Europe it is required by law to leave one's home for a month out of each year. And somehow that's how the concept of interval ownership (timeshare) was created.
It could all be a huge lie, but that's what our bosses wanted us to put into our pitches.
I know Europeans are big on vacations and always have been. They are basically a lazy, entitled group of folks who look to the United States to bail them out when one of their countries decides to attack the rest, militarily. They sometimes have the work ethic of our welfare bums.
These days, you couldn't pay me to go to Europe for any reason. That EuroTrash hates anything United States. Why spend a ton of money flying to the other side of the world just to be hated? My youngest daughter and her husband vacation in Japan, mostly because they DON'T hate America.

@Reason10 I don't know what if any country outside of othe USA you have ever visited, but what you were told about time-share homes in "Europe" may means only in one country or some countries. Europe consists of nearly thirty countries.
Even so, it would seem strange to have a time-share agreement in which one part-owner does not leave the property for the other at some point, but I accept the laws and trace practices may differ from country to country.
Europeans as a rule don't hate Americans; but no-one in any country - from Iceland to Japan and back again - is likely to welcome foreigners being so wilfuly, childishly ignorant and rude as to call them "trash".
As for attacking European countries for their industries having the nerve to give employees holiday (don't they do that in the USA too?), that too shows your xenophobic ignorance. What counts is that the work is done, and calling people lazy for having holidays is plain foolish. Are your daughter and son-in-law lazy because they have holidays too? Of course not!

@ArishMell Nobody has attacked European countries for their industrial work ethic regulations. Personally, I don't care if all businesses in Europe require employees to work only an hour a day. My problem is the liberals wagging their fingers at American businesses and trying to suggest our employee relations are inferior to European ones. I haven't attacked anyone or any business for wanting to observe holidays and give employees the day off. I only hold myself personally to different standards. As far as Europeans hating Americans, my youngest daughter toured Europe (around the turn of the century) on the Student Ambassador group(People To People) . We got a call late at night that there had been an incident in Paris, concerning an angry mob that surrounded the PTP group and yelled obscenities and hate speech for about an hour. I'm not judging all of Europe by that action, but you can't find a similar incident happening in America, and we're the home base of the Democrat KKK. A few years later, my daughter rejoined PTP for a trip to China. She felt a lot safer, if you can imagine. She even got to meet Mary Eisenhower on that trip. I used to sell timeshare in Orlando. We were told the concept began in Europe, since they were more supportive of a person leaving his home for vacation. (No such thing as a StayCation in Europe.) I don't look down on Europe for that. If anything, the concept of timeshare has made a lot of Floridians rich in the real estate market. The countries I visited outside of America are the following: Ontario, Mexico, St. Thomas, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Bahamas. Out of all of them, I enjoyed Mexico the most. Friendliest locals there, for sure. At my age, the idea of traveling a long distance for a vacation has no appeal at all. The only exception might be driving to Port Everglades on the other side of the state and spending a week on what Jimmy Buffett refers to as a "Tacky Cruise Ship."
